a Savion space port

A Savion deep space port in the Triden Galaxy. IN the foreground a Savion Out-riggor makes it's way toward the docking bay. It carries passengers from Eto and points beyond.+++++++++++This is kinda cool in large, but don't look too hard - you'll read the Yankee Candle sign on the jars!Explanation:I used the old globe technique here on the bottles on the window ledge and squashed it to make the space port shape. Outriggor was fomed from mini-blinds in another photo and part of a bottle photo, layered, and then free- transformed with perspective tool to give the illusion that it is moving away from the viewer.

Star field was so easy..just start with black canvas and use ULEAD particle plugin/snow...dial up very tiny particles and sparse density. Voila! Snow becomes stars!!!+++++++++++++At "school" (PST.com) they make us beginners do a detailed step-by-step "show and tell" of how we made an image, complete with images showing ALL the steps you took to get where you got. If you use outside images as componants, you have to give the url of where you got them. I never use anything but my own images so I just have to build the step by step. That's the tedious, time consuming part of working there, but it MAKES you learn or give up and go away...and I've witnessed a tirade or 2 by folks who get tired of proving everything and just throw a fit and leave.

Mini Blinds in Shades of Grey

I was trying to decide what to wear the other morning, (which can be quite a process), and as my frustration level grew, I flopped down on the bed in desperation. As I got looking at the window however, I became intrigued as the light shone through the window, being blocked by a wooden moulding in the centre, coloring the miniblinds different shades of grey. Darker in the centre, and getting lighter going out from there. I found it so interesting I ran into Ryan's office and said, "Where's your camera, I need to take a picture of something." I quite like the result. What do you think?
